'Robust Pop R400MR' produces large, round popped kernels sturdy enough to hold a coating and stay in one piece, unlike the more common 'butterfly'-shaped popcorn. This is also the type of popcorn found in the popular Cracker Jacks®. Grow it in your backyard to make kettle corn, caramel corn, popcorn balls, or to top with seasonings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e95–100 days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFamily:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePoaceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFlint Corn \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAmericas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFrost-sensitive annual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFull sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlant Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6'–7' tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVariety Info:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7\"–8\" ears with yellow kernels that dry to a rich orange color.

The kernels are ready for harvest when they are hard and you can no longer leave a mark on them with your fingernail. Before the first fall frost, give each ear a twist until it breaks off. Peel back the husks, then hang the ears in a cool, dark, dry place for 4 to 6 weeks to cure. This is important to prevent mold and to dry to the optimal moisture percentage for popping. (In a perfect popcorn world, that would be 13½–14%.) After that, the cobs are ready for popping or storing. To strip off cured kernels, twist the cobs back and forth to loosen them (gloves are recommended).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop with confidence when you shop at Southern Agriculture.
